Long-time blog readers will know that we track Blue Ridge because they are the pure definition of a 'Tiger Cub'. John Griffin was Julian Robertson's right-hand man while at Tiger Management before founding Blue Ridge.

The Inefficient Stock Market by Robert Haugen: 'What works and why.' This book looks at how the market is inefficient and argues that financial models based on economic behavior cannot explain certain aspects of (often irrational) market behavior.

Griffin is a Tiger Cub, and as mentioned above, he was Julian Robertson's right hand man. So, needless to say, he knows his stuff. Blue Ridge seeks absolute returns by investing in companies who dominate their industries and shorting the companies who have fundamental problems. While hedge funds typically closely guard their short positions, we've gotten a sneak peek in the past at what Blue Ridge had been shorting. Both Griffin at Blue Ridge and Lee Ainslie over at Maverick Capital like to effectively hedge with a solid balance of both long and short positions (like a true hedge fund... not like some of the crazy funds these days that aren't truly hedged). Griffin attended the University of Virginia for undergrad and received his MBA from Stanford.
